About London

London is both England and the United Kingdom’s capital city, and with a population of some 8 million people, it is a truly diverse world cultural capital. North, South, East and West London all offer their unique characteristics, as well as their different strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment and finance. London is the administrative centre of England, where The Houses of Parliament and other government and trade bodies are located. This vibrant city boasts some interesting architecture and many buildings are of historical interest. Some of the famous monuments located across London include: Nelson’s Column at Trafalgar Square, the Monument in the City, Marble Arch in the West End, and Big Ben in Westminster. As a result of hosting the 2012 Olympic Games, London has benefited from major road, travel and accommodation improvements and expansion. The Docklands area of London alongside the River Thames has recently undergone significant regeneration, providing new office buildings and housing and additional rail links.
